TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a compound having a calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR, hereinafter to be simply referred to as a calcium receptor) antagonistic action, a pharmaceutical composition containing the compound, particularly a calcium receptor antagonist and a therapeutic agent of osteoporosis, and to an intermediate compound useful for synthesizing the compound.

BACKGROUND ART

Calcium receptors sense extracellular Ca²⁺ concentration and increase intracellular Ca²⁺, thereby suppressing the production of parathyroid hormone (PTH) involved in the control of Ca²⁺ metabolism and bone metabolism.

The serum calcium concentration of healthy mammal is strictly maintained at about 9–10 mg/100 ml (ca. 2.5 mM), which is referred to as calcium homeostasis of living organisms. When this value falls to not more than 50%, tetania occurs, and when it increases by 50%, consciousness is clouded, both cases threatening the lives. For maintaining calcium homeostasis, duodenum acts as a Ca²⁺ uptake organ, bone acts as a Ca²⁺ storage organ, and kidney acts as a Ca²⁺ excretory organ. These Ca²⁺ kinetics are controlled by various hormones generally referred to as “calcium controlling hormone”. Representative hormone includes active vitamin D [1α, 25(OH)₂D₃], PTH, calcitonin, Parathyroid Hormone-Related Protein (PTH-related Protein (PTHrP)) and the like.

Bone plays an important role not only as a supporting framework and motor organ of the body, but also as a storage organ of Ca²⁺, which is its constituent component. To fulfill such functions, bone tissues repeat formation thereof (osteogenesis) and absorption thereof (bone resorption) throughout the entire life. For osteogenesis, osteoblast derived from mesenchymal cell plays a major role, and for bone resorption, osteoclast derived from hematopoietic cell plays a major role. Osteogenesis is a mechanism including osteoid formation by bone organic matrix (bone matrix proteins such as type I collagen and the like) produced by osteoblast present on the osteogenesis surface, and subsequent calcification. Bone resorption is a mechanism including adhesion of osteoclast to the bone surface, intracellular absorption of Ca²⁺ via acid secretion and ion transport, and excretion of absorbed Ca²⁺ to the bone marrow side, thereby releasing Ca²⁺ into blood. The deficient part of the bone absorbed by osteoclast is repaired by osteogenesis by osteoblast. This series of phenomena are called remodeling of bone, and by the remodeling, old bones are replaced by new bones, thus maintaining the strength of the entire bone while maintaining calcium homeostasis.

PTH is a hormone that plays a key role in maintaining the calcium homeostasis. When blood Ca²⁺ concentration decreases, secretion of PTH from the parathyroid gland is promoted immediately, which, in the bone, acts on osteoblast (activation of osteoclast by osteoblast, production of bone organic matrix decomposition enzyme and the like) to promote osteoclastic bone resorption, whereby Ca²⁺ is transferred from the bone into the blood. In kidney, PTH promotes resorption of Ca²⁺ in the distal convulted tubule, and activates 25(OH) vitamin D₃ in the proximal tubule, thereby promoting the production of active vitamin D₃ [1α, 25(OH)₂D₃] having a function of promoting resorption of Ca²⁺ from the intestine. It also suppresses resorption of phosphorus. As mentioned above, PTH directly or indirectly increases blood Ca²⁺ concentration.

When blood Ca²⁺ concentration increases, calcium receptor senses it, immediately suppresses secretion of PTH from the parathyroid gland to decrease the amount of Ca²⁺ to be supplied into the blood [Brown, E. M., Homeostatic mechanisms regulating extracellular and intracellular calcium metabolism, in the parathyroids, p. 19, (1994), Raven press, New York]. Secretion of PTH is also suppressed by active vitamin D [1α, 25(OH)₂D₃].

Because PTH is a hormone assuming an important role in controlling Ca²⁺ metabolism and bone metabolism, attempts have been made to apply PTH to the treatment of osteoporosis. In 1982, Tam et al. found that sustained administration of bovine PTH (1-84) to thyroid/parathyroid gland enucleated rat results in promotion of both osteogenesis and bone resorption of femoral cancellous bone, leading to a decrease in net bone mass, but subcutaneous intermittent administration thereof does not result in promotion of bone resorption but in promotion of osteogenesis alone, leading to an increase in the bone mass [Endocrinology, 110, 506–512 (1982)]. Furthermore, Uzawa et al. compared the actions of sustained administration and intermittent administration of PTH with regard to epiphysial long bone and metaphysial cancellous bone of young rat. As a result, they clarified that sustained administration of PTH results in remarkable increase in bone mass in metaphysial cancellous bone highly susceptible to the effect of enchondral ossification, though associated with abnormal findings such as hyperplasia of epiphysial plate cartilage, fibrous ostitis and the like, and in marked promotion of bone resorption and decrease in bone mass accompanied by rarefaction of cortical bone, in epiphysial cancellous bone where the effect is small [Bone, 16, 477–484 (1995)]. In addition, it has been reported that intermittent administration of PTH results in significant increases in bone mass and bone trabecula in both epiphysial and metaphysial cancellous bones without increase in osteoclast or decrease of cortical bone.

Moreover, Scutt et al. have reported that, in chicken calvaria derived osteoblast, a short time (10–20 min) treatment with PTH promotes cell growth as compared to a long time (18 hr) treatment [Calcif. Tissue Int., 55, 208–215 (1994)]. This suggests that some of the actions of PTH on osteoblast are temporary and that expression of the action by the treatment for an extremely short time may be related to the fact that sustained administration and intermittent administration of PTH in vivo show different actions on bone tissues.

Ishizuya et al. further clarified through investigation of the action of PTH on differentiation of osteoblast using an in vitro experiment system that the action of PTH varies depending on the treatment time. They have reported that sustained action of PTH on osteoblast derived from rat calvaria resulted in strong inhibition of differentiation of osteoblast and nearly complete inhibition of osteogenesis in vitro, but repeated PTH action for the first 6 hr of 48 hr as one cycle resulted in significant promotion of differentiation of osteoblast and promotion of osteogenesis in vitro.

PTH is considered to not only prevent decrease in bone mass of osteoporosis model, but also has a bone mass recovery effect even on an animal already suffering from marked decrease in bone mass. Wronski et al. intermittently administered human PTH (1-34) to 90-day-old SD rat at 4 weeks post-ovariectomy and showing an obvious decrease in cancellous bone, for 15 weeks from 4 weeks post-ovariectomy. As a result, promotion of osteogenesis and inhibition of bone resorption were observed during the period of from week 5 to week 10 after the start of the administration, showing increased bone mass of about twice the bone mass of sham operation group [Endocrinology, 132, 823–831 (1993)]. They have also reported that, in this experiment, estrogen and bisphosphonate prevented decrease in bone mass caused by ovariectomy but did not show increase in bone mass, unlike PTH. They detailedly analyzed the cortical bone of this experiment system and found images showing promoted osteogenesis and bone mass increase on the periost side and endosteum side by intermittent administration of human PTH (1–34), based on which they have clarified that the increase in cancellous bone due to PTH did not accompany decrease in cortical bone [Bone, 15, 51–58 (1994)].

Furthermore, Mosekilde et al. have reported that intermittent administration of human PTH (1-34) or human PTH (1-84) causes not only an increase in bone mass but also a dose-dependent increase in compression strength and bending strength, which are indices of bone substance, of cancellous bone [Endocrinology, 129, 421–428 (1991)] and cortical bone [J. Bone Miner. Res., 8, 1097–1101 (1993)] of rat vertebral bone. As discussed above, since PTH shows an obvious bone mass increasing action in experimental animals, various investigations are ongoing as regards the restrictive conditions expected in actual clinical applications. Mizoguchi studied whether or not a pharmacological effect is observed by intermittent administration of PTH, even when PTH in blood, which is considered to be one of the factors responsible for osteoporosis, has significantly increased, and concluded that the bone mass increased as usual [Journal of Japanese Society of Bone Morphometry, vol. 5, pp. 33–39 (1995)]. Takao et al. have studied the frequency of PTH administration and reported that administration of once a week for 12 weeks to healthy rat scarcely promoted bone absorption but dose-dependently increased the bone mass [Japanese Journal of Bone Metabolism, vol. 12 (Suppl.), p. S343 (1994)], suggesting possible effectiveness of clinically useful low frequency administration. The foregoing achievements suggest the possibility of PTH for making a potent and promising therapeutic drug for the treatment of postmenopausal steoporosis or postovariectomy osteoporosis, which increases one mass and decreases bone fracture rate.

These results clearly indicate that intermittent administration of PTH would enable treatment of osteoporosis. On the other hand, PTH problematically requires injection as an administration route, which is painful for many patients. However, an orally administrable pharmaceutical agent that can intermittently increase PTH concentration in blood is greatly expected to become a therapeutic drug of osteoporosis, which is based on a new action mechanism different from that of the above-mentioned PTH and conventional calcitonin.

Calcium receptor is a G protein coupled receptor, which is cloned as a molecule essential for controlling PTH secretion, and which penetrates cell membrane 7 times. Human calcium receptor consists of 1078 amino acids, and shows 93% amino acid homology with bovine calcium receptor. Human calcium receptor consists of a large N terminal extracellular region consisting of 612 amino acids, a cell membrane penetration region consisting of 250 amino acids and a C terminal intracellular region consisting of 216 amino acids.

Expression of calcium receptor has been found in parathyroid gland, kidney, thyroid C cell, brain and the like, as well as in bone (bone marrow cells).

When calcium receptor is bound with a ligand such as Ca²⁺ and the like, it activates phospholipase C in conjugation with G protein, causes production of inositol triphosphate and increase in intracellular Ca²⁺ concentration, and as a result, suppresses secretion of PTH [Nature, 366, 575–580 (1993)].

As mentioned above, a pharmaceutical agent that inhibits activation of calcium receptor, or a pharmaceutical agent that antagonizes calcium receptor, removes suppression of PTH secretion in parathyroid gland cells, and promotes secretion of PTH. If the antagonistic action can increase blood PTH concentration discontinuously and intermittently, its antagonist is expected to show the same effect as provided by intermittent administration of PTH, and a pharmaceutical agent extremely effective for the treatment of osteoporosis is considered to be provided.

Maxine Gowen et al. examined the effect of a compound having a CaSR antagonistic action and called NPS-2143

on osteogenesis by orally administering NPS-2143 to OVX rat and measuring the concentration in blood and bone density, and reported the results [J. Clin. Invest., 105, 1595–1604 (2000)].

According to this publication, NPS-2143 significantly promotes release of PTH, but has no direct effect on osteoblast and osteoclast in vitro, as a result of which no bone increase or decrease was found. One of the reasons was considered to be the too long half-life of NPS-2143 in blood. When rat PTH (1-34) was administered to OVX rat at a dose of 5 μg/kg, the PTH concentration in blood shows a peak at about 175 pg/ml in 30 min, and restores its original level in 2 hr. When NPS-2143 was administered at a dose of 100 μmol/kg, PTH concentration kept increasing even after the PTH concentration in blood reached about 115 pg/ml in 30 min, and the concentration was about 140 pg/ml even after 4 hr [see J. Clin. Invest., 105, 1595–1604 (2000), p. 1598, FIG. 3].

At this time, the concentration in blood of NPS-2143 itself remained above 100 ng/ml even at 8 hr after administration and it was only after 24 hr when the concentration became not more than 10 ng/ml and could not be detected.

The reference of the above-mentioned Maxine Gowen et al. suggests that a calcium receptor antagonist having a too long half-life in blood brings about the same results as in sustained administration of PTH and teaches that an increase in the bone mass cannot be expected.

The present invention aims at providing a compound having a calcium receptor antagonistic action. The present invention also aims at providing a pharmaceutical composition comprising said compound, which is effective as an agent for the treatment of a disease showing abnormal calcium homeostasis, namely, osteoporosis, hypoparathyreosis, osteosarcoma, periodontal disease, bone fracture, steoarthrosis, chronic rheumatoid arthritis, Paget's disease, humoral hypercalcemia, autosomal dominant hypocalcemia and the like, particularly as a therapeutic agent for osteoporosis, which is capable of oral administration and intermittent administration. Moreover, the present invention aims at providing a synthetic intermediate for a compound having a calcium receptor antagonistic action.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

The present inventors have conducted intensive studies in an attempt to solve the above-mentioned problems and as a result, found that a compound of the following formula [I] has a superior calcium receptor antagonistic action and can be administered orally and intermittently, which resulted in the completion of the present invention. All the conventionally known calcium receptor antagonists increase PTH concentration in blood in a sustained manner and a sufficient osteogenesis promoting action cannot be expected. In contrast, the compound of the following formula is surprisingly capable of increasing the PTH concentration in blood intermittently in a non-sustained manner, and is expected to be put into practical use as a superior therapeutic agent for osteoporosis.

The compound represented by the following formula of the present invention is characterized by its structure wherein carbon atom adjacent to oxygen atom has R¹ and R² as substituents, i.e.,

As is clear from the Experimental Example below, the compound of the present invention having the structure

has not only a superior calcium receptor antagonistic action, but a temporary non-sustained PTH secretion promoting action, as compared to conventional compounds having the structure

Accordingly, it is considered that, by administration of the compound of the present invention, an effect similar to that obtained by intermittent administration of PTH is obtained, which is extremely effective for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Accordingly, the present invention relates to a compound represented by the following formula, a calcium receptor antagonist and a therapeutic agent for osteoporosis, which contains the compound as an active ingredient, and an intermediate compound useful for the synthesis of the compound.

Example 57 (2R)-1-[1,1-Dimethyl-2-(naphthalen-2-yl)ethylamino]-3-[(cyclopropyl)(2-hydroxymethylphenyl)methoxy]propan-2-ol

Step 1

2-Bromo-1-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxymethyl)benzene

2-Bromobenzyl alcohol (25.0 g) was dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (150 ml) and imidazole (20.0 g) and tert-butyldimethylchlorosilane (22.2 g) were added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hr. The reaction mixture was poured into 5% aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed successively with 5% aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution, water and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (40.9 g).

Step 2

(Cyclopropyl)[2-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxymethyl)-phenyl]methanol

Magnesium (2.20 g) was suspended in tetrahydrofuran (4 ml) and iodine (2 mg) was added. Thereto was added dropwise a solution of 2-bromo-1-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxymethyl)benzene (24.0 g) obtained in Step 1 in tetrahydrofuran (10 ml) over 30 min and the reaction mixture was heated under reflux for 1 hr.

Experimental Examples

The biological activity of the compound of the present invention was examined.

Experimental Example 1

Evaluation of Antagonistic Action on Calcium Receptor Using Reporter Gene

Luciferase cDNA and human calcium receptor cDNA were transfected into a cell strain derived from rat adrenal and the transformed cells were cultured overnight in a medium (F12 medium containing 0.5% dialyzed horse serum and 0.25% dialyzed bovine fetal serum). The next day, a dimethyl sulfoxide solution containing a test compound at 0.01–100 mM was diluted 100-fold with the medium and added to the test compound group at 10 μl per well. A medium containing 50 mM calcium chloride was added to the control group at 10 μl per well, such that the final calcium concentration of the medium became 5 mM. A medium alone was added to the blank group. After culture for 4 hr, luciferase substrate (PicaGene LT-2.0, TOYO INK) was added and the luciferase activity was measured with a photoluminometer. The inhibitory rate (%) was calculated from the obtained measured values according to the following formula.

${{Inhibitory}\mspace{14mu}{rate}\mspace{14mu}(\%)} = {100 - {\frac{\begin{matrix} {{measured}\mspace{14mu}{value}} \\ {{of}\mspace{14mu}{compound}} \\ {group} \end{matrix} - \begin{matrix} \begin{matrix} {{measured}\mspace{14mu}{value}} \\ {{of}\mspace{14mu}{blank}} \end{matrix} \\ {group} \end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix} {{measured}\mspace{14mu}{value}} \\ {{of}\mspace{14mu}{control}} \\ {group} \end{matrix} - \begin{matrix} {{measured}\mspace{14mu}{value}} \\ {{of}\mspace{14mu}{blank}} \\ {group} \end{matrix}} \times 100}}$

Based on the results, the concentration (IC₅₀) showing 50% inhibitory rate was determined.

For reference, a compound of the above-mentioned formula [1–3] wherein R¹¹, R¹² and R²are hydrogen atoms and R⁷¹ and R⁷² in combination show —CH═CH—CH═CH—

(Comparative Example 1) was also subjected to the testing. The results are shown in Table 24 and Table 25.

Experimental Example 2

PTH Secretion Promoting Action

The test compound was orally administered to 6 to 9-week-old male SD rats (Charles River Japan, Inc.) fasted for 20 hr, using a solvent (5% ethanol, 0.5% aqueous methyl cellulose solution) at a dose of 30 mg/5 ml/kg and 100 mg/5 ml/kg. A solvent alone was orally administered to the control group at a dose of 5 ml/kg. The blood was drawn from the tail vein immediately before and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6 hr after the administration of the test compound, and sera were obtained. The serum PTH concentration was measured using rat PTH (1-84) ELISA kit (Nohon Medi-Physics).

When osteoporosis is to be treated by increasing the blood PTH concentration by inhibition of the action of calcium receptor, the compound to be used for this end should have at least the following properties.

-   (i) The compound has a sufficient antagonistic action on calcium     receptors. In other words, the compound has a sufficiently low IC₅₀     value. In the specification of WO99/51241, it is described, “In     general, a compound showing a low IC₅₀ value in the assay of calcium     receptor inhibitor is a more superior compound. A compound showing     an IC₅₀ value of not lower than 50 μM is considered to be inactive.     A preferable compound shows an IC₅₀ value of not more than 10 μM,     more preferably 1 μM, and most preferably not more than 0.1 μM.” -   (ii) Administration of the compound results in a sufficient increase     in the blood PTH concentration. -   (iii) The time-course concentrations in blood after administration     of the compound are not sustainable. Desirably, the PTH     concentration before administration is restored at 3, 4 hr after     administration of the compound.

From the above-mentioned test results, the compound of the present invention clearly shows the above-mentioned characteristics.

As regards (i); As shown in Table 24 and Table 25, the IC₅₀ value of the compound of the present invention is not more than 1 μM, and the compound has a sufficient antagonistic action on calcium receptors. The compound of the present invention is considered to be preferable in view of the IC₅₀ value. As regards (ii); As shown in Table 24–Table 26 and FIGS. 1–3, at 30 min later, the 30 mg/kg administration group showed a 2.0–3.0 times higher blood PTH concentration than that before administration, and the 100 mg/kg administration group showed a 2.2–3.6 times higher blood PTH concentration than that before administration, and the compound of the present invention has been confirmed to have a superior PTH secretion promoting action. In contrast, as shown in Table 24 and FIG. 4, at 30 min after administration, the compound of Comparative Example 1 only showed a 1.3 times higher blood PTH concentration even at the dose of 100 mg/kg. The compound was not found to have a superior PTH secretion promoting action, and cannot be expected to be a pharmaceutical product. As regards (iii); As shown in Table 24–Table 26 and FIGS. 1–3, PTH secretion by the compound of the present invention reached a peak at 30 min after administration, sharply decreased thereafter and returned to the blood PTH concentration before administration in about 2–4 hr. It is clear that the compound of the present invention is superior from this aspect. In contrast, as a result of the reproductive test of NPS-2143 of the reference, the sustained secretion promoting action of NPS-2143 was confirmed (from FIG. 5).
